Have developed and used experimental testbeds
for electromechanical devices for use in verifying software models.

Have developed high-speed switching and
various pulse power control circuits for electromechanical, power
supply and signal amplification applications.

Hands-on skills in developing, testing and
analysing active and passive analog circuits and subsystems from DC
to 100GHz. This includes antennas, oscillators, amplifiers, PLLs,
mixers, filters, matching, transmission systems, digital circuits,
high-voltage power supplies and some free-electron devices for
radio communications and industrial applications.

Capable of modeling and generating special
PCB layouts and interconnects for power/RF/microwave/high-speed
digital devices (including
printed antennas). Carried out much early-career work in
this area.

Able to develop and use specialised models
for simulations of designs (SPICE, ADS Momentum, LineCalc, NEC,
Maple as well as personally developed numerical codes).

Carried out an investigation of analog RF
subsystems in 3G base stations as part of a $9M commercial
performance and feasibility study. Comprehensive report produced.

Designed and constructed low-cost microwave
transmitter and receiver circuits at 1.2 and 2.4 GHz as part of
student project development work. Also devised filters and
amplifiers in Ku band VSAT terminals.

August
1994 - February 2000: Postdoctoral Research scientist under CSR
Fellowshipat the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial
Research Organisation, Forestry and Forest Products Division.

Developed finite-element, finite-difference
and Monte-Carlo based computational tools for heat/mass (moisture)
transfer in porous media, electromagnetics, and viscoelasticity in
2 and 3 dimensions.

Interacted regularly with team members and
industrial partners.

Prepared 14 detailed reports and
publications.

>Supervised 3 research students.

July
1993 - July 1994: Guest Lecturer at RMIT, Melbourne. Prepared
and delivered course material on UHF/microwave design, fibre-optic
communications and the theory and mechanics of the Internet.
